Christy Turlington’s anti-ageing tips

Supermodel Christy Turlington is renowned for her ageless beauty. Sharing the mindsets, beliefs and actions that help her stay youthful, Christy revealed her top anti-ageing tips for the July issue of Red.

Christy's a big fan of the wellbeing power of herbs: "Through the skincare line that I had with Ayurveda I was familiar with the powers of herbs that you ingest for your skin, it made a lot of sense to me" she comments.

She's a yogi for life and a great believer in its ability to improve wellbeing: "It's not an everyday practice but I try and practice yoga as a philosophy every day. That's in my work with my non-profit, in service and it's also with my children - who I'm in service to as well!"

Making time for sleep and understanding its benefit are paramount to Christy's life philosophy. "There's more and more studies and research about the importance of sleep" she says. "I know in my mind that I'm an 8 hours sleep person, but I rarely get it. Like a lot of women, I think we're so busy it's hard to unwind."

While she knows how important it is to shield your skin from harmful rays, Christy's an outdoors person and feels healthier from having a little sun: "I like the sun. I don't lay out but I I'm active so I run outside. I put a little bit of sunscreen and I know it's important but I also think vitamin D is really important."

"I'm at that point where I don't have a lot of time to incorporate other brands [into my skincare routine], so if I'm going to try something I want to make sure it works," Christy says of her recent decision to start taking Imedeen Time Perfection beauty supplements.

"It's definitely brought a sense of nourishment and my skin feels like it has a better balance. I can't say I've had that reaction from anything else." She also says the lycopene-, zinc- and protein-rich supplements have made her hair thicker and shinier: 'It had got thin after having kids.'
